EA or BA Certification Planned Obsolescence: The Impact of New Certification Releases

Planned obsolescence in Enterprise Architecture or Business Architecture certification takes on a unique - and often contentious form, when certifying bodies release a new version of a credential, effectively rendering previous versions less valuable or even obsolete, despite earlier assurances of permanence or lifetime validity. This scenario can have significant repercussions for certified professionals and organizations alike. One indicator of this phenomenon is a certification that is attached to a named and indicated certification version number.
